You kind of covered them, but these are my top tips: 1) MEDICATION - you might not think you take any, but then you go abroad and find that the stuff that's over-the-counter in your own country isn't available or requires a prescription; 2) PROOF OF NON-IMMIGRANT INTENT - you will eventually meet a jobsworth immigration inspector and you need to be able to answer his/her questions. Bank statement, tax return, plane ticket, proof of income, rent agreement, lease agreement, property deed, etc. When I go to the US I even have a copy of my entry record that I download from the DHS website; 3) LUGGAGE - mark up your luggage with tape or chalk, etc. That way they can find it if the tag comes off and also they can ID it faster when you eventually lose it. Last year my flight was cancelled and I was the only person who got my bag back within 24 hours, partly because my bag was easy to ID. They might all have barcodes on them nowadays but that only gives them a general idea of where it is, they still have to look through a pile of bags. Also make sure you have your contact details inside your suitcase; 4) PHONE - dual-SIM phones aren't that common in N America so I always buy my phones abroad. Bit tricky to use here as some providers block them, but not all of them do. Dual SIM phone makes your life a lot easier abroad, there are apps (e.g. Skype) you can use but a SIM is the easiest way.
It may sound trivial, but bring your favorite or preferred feminine hygiene products. Not all countries carry the same brands as America or Canada. Many also don't carry tampons, so if that is your preference bring plenty.
Thanks for the pointers, Alina ! You showed me many things that helps me decide and plan my move later this year that I think will help in many ways. You have the experience that I'm sure is a blessing to you now in this new adventure. I wanted to tell you now as I will be offline, except for my phone for the next few days for computer repairs. Please enjoy your travel there, be safe and keep that smile....you are now set up for some more blessings and happy times for you now. Keep us informed, Cheers!!
Very usefull video, Alina. I usually put in my "essentials carry on" bag some extra clothes to change (like one pant/shirt/t-shirt/socks/underware) just in case my luggage doesn't arrive inside the same plane and day that I do (lol). This simple trick helped me a couple of times 😀
Very organized. Yes, it does make travelling much easier and less stressful. Better than wadding everything up and tossing it in a case. I'd like to think I pack well, optimizing space and considering weight. When I ever go overseas, we'll see. Happy travels, stay safe, and have lots of fun. Keep the videos coming.
Good luck nice job packing the correct way to do this task! Look forward to your Greece adventures thanks for sharing everything! I just found you on youtube Friday!LOL, Many videos to catch up for years of adventures! Safe travels and your blessed!
Great travel packing tips video. Most of it I know from my own travel experiences. I actually bought doubles of some items and they are always sitting in the suitcases. One thing I'd like to mention though is that if you are bringing permanent press clothes (i.e. it doesn't wrinkle when packed) then instead of folding the clothes you can get a lot more into a bag if you fold once and roll them up (bottom to top so if there are slight wrinkles they are at the bottom of the garment and when worn the bottom of shirts/blouses are tucked in and bottom of pants will straighten when worn). Much like you for this trip I try to co-ordinate and minimize the amount of clothes and weight. You have all that camera gear though, so I'm one bag less than you :-) I don't use Instagram or Twitter so I'll have to wait for future videos. Have fun, stay safe. Bye for now Alina.
Thanks, Alina. I like your tech accessories organizer idea. I always put my critical documents in ziploc style bags to avoid water damage. The tight sealing, Great Value brand from Walmart is my fav. Do you ever use an under-clothing travel pouch to deter pick-pocketing of money and other valuables? All the best!
Cool! I have the same packing routine but your is more organize. I also have a few plastic bags to separate the dirty laundry from the rest. ;-) I hope I could still catch some your Greece travel series vlogs before my flight to Athens on the 8th. Cheers!
Hi Alina, I’m happy and excited for you! I admire your confidence in taking charge of your life and your life’s journey! Be safe and stay healthy! Keep on exploring and learning! I look forward to seeing and hearing from you during your fantastic nomadic adventure!!! Warm best wishes, Gediminas
I saw Philippine flag in your vlog. Is that part of your planned trip? They speak/understand English there. Nice I will be following it. Good luck on all your trip, be safe and thanks for the info. Someday I can do solo trip from your encouragement.
im excited where ever you go do travelling all countries to explor journey culture places foods ..💖🌹..i miss Ms Alina M. in future experience tnks you so much ..i cant wait to watch you travel be there...🇷🇺🇵🇭👍🙏
Would like to see your camera gear. I'm interested in buying an Osmo Pocket for myself, or one of my daughters, and was wondering about your thoughts on it, recommended accessories, etc.
as a guy I try to limit myself to one checkin and one overhead, I travel light and minimally. good suggestions that you have. especially the checklist.

Hoi, Alina, really interesting to follow you´re preparations. Good luck, Greece will welcome you. My comment to you´re last vid is gone. So, due to the actual situation no private flight since March here, Malta. Looking forward to lot´s of vids and tell us more during you´re trip, especially what you eat!.
Ahh Alina, the mysteries of why we always have so much luggage.............solved. Good luck with your travels. Actually, I am just about to watch the videos.
Well, it looks like your clothing palette contains all the necessary national colors 😁 Very informative video with many really helpful tips & new nice video graphics! Thank You very much! I never forgot overweight trick that I learned about from one of your Japanese episodes 😉 And although small quantity of sweaters in the video makes me a little sad, I understand well your satiety with winter 😅 I wish You to enj🌞y the summer time with a margin! P.S.: Btw, does Cheburashka still travel with You sometimes? :)
wow this video is extremely amazing.I really love your stuffs they are nice and durable.I hope you will have many amazing travel.your diary is beautiful.You are a great traveller me also I'm saving some money for travelling.Take care all the best.
Well done Alina ! I too want to visit all world in particular nordic european countries, Canada, New Zealand, Russia. When will you visit Scandinavia? In particular Norway or Sweden? Or visit Finland and Iceland?
Hello there; In order to save some money and if you haven't yet done so, as a suggestion consider MagicJack as a future phone service after returning to Canada. Have a safe and pleasant trip to and from Greece, and please keep us posted about your upcoming trip to the latter. Thank you!
I can't wait for the platzkart style breakdown video when you realize that you are completely overpacked. Try to scale down your video gear and all this beauty stuff so that you can fit it all into the big luggage piece. Otherwise you'll soon hate yourself for bringing it. Good luck on your travels though!
When I pack for travelling there are only 3 things I need to bring with me, and that is Money, passport and a toothbrush. Everything else, you can buy along the way. :o)
Hi Alina, thanks for giving us some good tips on packing. Just wondering, what is the name of the music in the background? I signed up on epidemic but I still can't find this song. Thanks for your help.
I pack like you! I cram so much in that I always have to check the weight. I like that organizer you have for cables, mics, etc. I want to get something like that. 🌺 Heidi
alina..yes i would very much to know all your video gear..please..when you have time..for iam starting to travel..soon..Tokmak.ukraine..this would help me so much...best regards..be -safe..Terry Mc Burnie..Toronto...
Do you usually take the more expensive airlines rather than the low-cost carriers? Looks like you have heavy luggages to carry. The low-cost carriers usually only allows you to carry very small amount of luggage onto the plane.
You kind of covered them, but these are my top tips:
1) MEDICATION - you might not think you take any, but then you go abroad and find that the stuff that's over-the-counter in your own country isn't available or requires a prescription;

Hello there;
In order to save some money and if you haven't yet done so, as a suggestion consider MagicJack as a future phone service after returning to Canada.
Have a safe and pleasant trip to and from Greece, and please keep us posted about your upcoming trip to the latter.
Thank you!
That Ryan is still there? I was so jealous when I first saw him in your videos last year. :)
In India, locally many flight dont allow you more than 1 suitcase
I can't wait for the platzkart style breakdown video when you realize that you are completely overpacked. Try to scale down your video gear and all this beauty stuff so that you can fit it all into the big luggage piece. Otherwise you'll soon hate yourself for bringing it. Good luck on your travels though!
Souigue Requin Yep, a large backpack and a smaller day bag. Buy whatever else needed on the road. :)
When I pack for travelling there are only 3 things I need to bring with me, and that is Money, passport and a toothbrush. Everything else, you can buy along the way. :o)
That’s a really great video and a really beautiful Backpack , Good luck to you 👍🏻✌🏻
Beauty!!! You still have that tricky bookbag ? :)
Come back to western Canada when your done
It looks like you are "CARRYING" a set of wave weave style architectures to the new world.....:)
